ONE LIVED, THE OTHER DIED.

A woman formerly our slave is now
our cook. About eighteen months ago
she became sickly and had cough and
was confined to bed, and it was thought
that she had consumption. The treats
ment by physicians failed to give relief.
In December, 1884 node or knot the
size of goose egg formed just above the
pit OF the stomach, which when lanced
discharged matter for a considerable
time. For six months OF this time she
was confined TO the house, and most of
the time in bed. The stomach often re-
fused food, by rejecting what she had
eaten. She used great deal of medicine,
but failed to be cured. | bought one
bottle of B B. B. (made in Atlanta, Ga }
and gave it to her and she commenced to
improve. l then bought and gave her
three bottles more, and she continued to
improve and in two months time her
cough had ceased, her constitution
strengthened, appetite and digestion
good. all discharges ceased. nodes or
knots disappeared and she went to work
| apparently healthy and fattened up great
| ly.
This woman had married sister of
near same age who was affected in pre-
cisely the same way and about the same
time. She had node or knot on pit Of
stomach, back, etc. She did not take
| any B. B. B. and the node on her stom-
ach ate through to the cavity. She con-
tinued on the decline and wasted away,
and finally died.
These were two terrible cases of blood
poison, one used 5. B. B. and was
speedily cured-the other did not use it
and died. 1t is most assuredly most
wonderful blood purifier Irefer to mer>
chants of this town. Yours truly,

and What should he Done Now.
The Judiciary committee has reported
favorably to the national senate a bill
passed by the house last session for the
holding of terms of the United States
court in Peoria. The bill will increase
the excessive amount of work imposed
upon Judge Blodgett. because it detaches
the counties of McDonough, Fulton and
Tazewell from the southern district, and
attaches them to the northern district,
and then divides the northern district
into the northern and southern divisions.
The counties of Peoria, Stark, Henry,
Rock Island, Mercer, Henderson, Warren,
Knox, McDonougb, Fulton. Pullman.
Marshall. Woodford, Tazewell, Living
stone. and Iroquois are to constitute the
southern division, the courts for which
are TO be held in Peoria on the third Mon
day of April and October Of each year,
the terms at Chicago beginning the same
as now. The bill provides for a deputy
marshal and deputy clerk for that divis'
ion of the district in which the marshal
and clerk do not live.
This same question came up about
seven years ago, and there vas at thai

cities in western and central Illinois. Il:

1.-The Man In the Moon.

As to the origin or significance of
a man in the moon, Curious Core
spondent" is informed that authori-
ties differ, as they likewise differ in
regard to what he has about him.
Some say that it is a man leaning on
a fork, on which he is carrying a
bundle of sticks picked up on Sun
day The origin of this fable is
from numbers XIV, 1886. Some
add a dog also. Thus the prologue
in Midsummer Nights Dream"
reads: This man, with lantern, dog
and bush Of thorns, presenteth NOON
shine. Chaucer writes, "He stole
the BUSH Another tradition set
forth that the man is Cain, with his
dog and thorn bush, the latter being
emblematical Of the thorns and briars
of the fall, and the dog being the
foul fiend. Poets Of a classical
turn make out the man to be the
youth Endymion, taken to Luna by
Dana.-BoSton CultiUQtor.
